What are psilocybin mushrooms?
Psilocybin mushrooms are a type of mushroom that grows organically throughout the natural world. As their name implies, these ‘shrooms are characterized by the presence of a compound called psilocybin (and another, called psilocin) in their caps and stems.
These unique compounds bind to your brain’s serotonin receptors, reducing depression and causing a powerful high. Some psilocybin species contain other compounds (such as baeocystin and norbaeocystin) that also contribute to the psychedelia.
There’s still some stigma that surrounds psilocybin, but there probably shouldn’t be. Remember, psilocybin mushrooms are a natural product! They were made illegal for reasons not grounded in science — or fact.
How to get started
So…are you ready to embrace change, overcome anxiety, and face the future, all without fear? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Science is increasingly clear that psilocybin mushrooms can rewire one’s brain enough to improve the way they view life.
But more on the science later. For now, let’s look at how you can get started taking psilocybin mushrooms.
If you’re not yet personally familiar with psilocybin, take heart. We’re here to help! Getting started with them is fairly straightforward. The key to success is simple: don’t overdo things.
Many beginners do great with an approach called microdosing, which entails taking very small amounts of psilocybin several times a week. Whatever method you choose, remember to start low and go slow, just like you’d do with cannabis.
On the other hand, maybe you’re already an experienced shroom user who’s ready for higher doses and stronger experiences. If that’s the case we have plenty of good options for you, too!
The history of psilocybin
Magic mushrooms have been used for thousands and thousands of years, likely since we humans first evolved from apes. In fact, they may have played a role in our evolution from apes.
Seriously. Famed researcher and psychonaut Terence McKenna was the first to theorize that psychedelics played a crucial role in our epigenetic development. In a sense, they may have ‘bridged the gap’ that exists, neurologically speaking, between humans and apes. This concept is affectionately called the “stoned ape theory.”
“The great embarrassment to evolutionary theory is the human neocortex,” McKenna liked to say, explaining that our evolution away from apes happened so quickly that it just couldn’t be explained without some additional inputs.
True to this theory, ancient cultures seemed to love magic mushrooms. North African tribes took to using them as many as 9,000 years ago. The ancient Aztecs also used a mushroom they called teonanácatl, or “flesh of the gods,” to facilitate psychedelic religious experiences.
All that said — magic mushrooms have a proven track record for helping humans think deeper and live better, and the very same concepts hold true today.
